My Favorite Ken Doll
December 15th, 2011
Ken - the way he looked back then
Can you believe that Barbie’s boyfriend Ken doll is 60 years old now? To commemorate this anniversary, Mattel, the creators of Barbie dolls, have come out with an anniversary special edition of Ken – just the way he looked back when he was introduced in 1962.
Barbie doll collectors are going to snatch up this limited edition of the Ken doll. Also girls with Barbie dolls will love having this version of Ken to play with. They may sell out quickly this Christmas season. If you’re thinking of giving one as a Christmas gift, you’d better order it fast! You may not be able to find one in stores.
Talking Baby Dolls
December 2nd, 2011Every little girl loves getting a baby doll for Christmas. Baby dolls aren’t as simple as they used to be. Today’s dolls talk, cry, and often do so much more.

"Mommy Make Me Well!"
For instance, the Chou Chou Mommy “Make Me Better Doll” comes with medicine, bandages, a stethoscope. a vaccination needle, a thermometer, and more. This amazing doll tells “Mommy” when she’s sick. Her cheeks turn red when she gets a fever; her boo boo disappears; she cries when she gets her temperature taken; and she laughs when she feels better. Little “Mommys” can play doctor or nurse if they want to, or just pretend they are a parent nursing their sick child back to health.
Here are some other popular talking baby dolls for the little girl in your life:
Hallmark Annual Countdown to Christmas Ornaments
December 2nd, 2011Every year Hallmark presents a new ornament to celebrate the season. These collectible ornaments make good gifts, as well as good mementos that you’ll enjoy on your own tree for years to come.

Add this ornament to your Christmas Tree!
The 2011 Hallmark Countdown Ornament is called “Twas the Month Before Christmas.” It’s a delightful image of Santa preparing toys. You and your family will enjoy seeing this adorable Santa ornament hanging from your tree, year after year.
Some people give their child an ornament every year so that when he or she grows up, they will have a collection of ornaments that will bring back many special Christmas memories each time they set up their own Christmas tree. This would be the perfect one to give this year! Some day your child could show it to your grandchild, telling him or her memories of this wonderful Christmas.
You can purchase this ornament as well as last year’s by clicking the links below.
Another great ornament for your collection is Hallmark’s Snoopy’s Countdown to Christmas Ornament. Charlie Brown fans will love this one!
Tis the Season for Electronics
November 24th, 2011During the Christmas season you’ll find great discounts on electronic items – Everything from TVs, computers, mp3 players, gaming systems, CD players, mobile phones, and tablets are on sale. Electronics are the most popular, in-demand gifts.
From Black Friday on through the season you’ll find that stores are competing by lowering prices. Many people stand in line for hours to get a chance to buy marked down electronics for gifts. But what many don’t realize is that the same items can be found for the same discounted prices online. For instance, if Wal-Mart is running a sale on TV’s, with a limited supply in each store, you can quickly find that item online as well. But you must order quickly, for supplies can be limited, just as they are in stores.
There are online Black Friday sales, as well as Cyber-Monday sales. It’s faster to get your Christmas gifts online than it is to stand in long lines at the stores that are running these specials.
Click below to discover the great prices on electronics that Wal-Mart and Amazon are offering. You’ll save both time and money!

Christmas Music – Build a Tradition
November 18th, 2011Some of my best Christmas memories are tied up with traditions involving Christmas music. Playing Christmas music in the house and in the car during the season brings back so many memories. Christmas caroling with a church group, singing carols around the piano while my mom played, playing music while baking Christmas cookies, singing carols in the church choir, and teaching my children Christmas songs are all part of my special Christmas memories.
You can build your own special Christmas memories by including traditions built around Christmas music. Whether you play tunes on CD, DVD, or Ipod or make your own music, your family will have wonderful Christmas memories when you incorporate Christmas songs into your daily life during the season.

Holiday DVD’s
November 18th, 2011The holidays are a special time to enjoy family get-togethers and fun. One thing that most families really enjoy is watching seasonal DVD’s together. There are movies and animated films that will grow to be a special remembrance if you bring them out every Christmas season. Even as kids grow older, they’ll look forward to pulling out those holiday DVD’s to watch with the family. And of course, once they have kids of their own, they’ll want to see your grandchildren enjoying the same family movie tradition with you that they enjoyed as they were growing up.

Holiday Barbies
November 15th, 2011Little and not so little girls love Barbie Dolls. Every year new Barbies are released, especially around the holidays. Some of them are collectibles, while others are the perfect gift for your little princess! One of my favorites is the Holiday Wishes Barbie. She’s gorgeous with her white “fur” wrap and beautiful long red dress.
She’s a beauty that you might want to only bring out for display at Christmas. You could start a Christmas tradition of only bringing out the Holiday Barbies during the holiday season. But then again, once the little girl in your life sees them, she’s going to want to play with them!
African American little girls will love the Holiday Wishes African American Barbie as well!
Electric Trains Go Around the Christmas Tree
November 15th, 2011One of my favorite memories from childhood Christmases is the electric train that my dad set up every Christmas. He had the tracks mounted on a platform that held the Christmas tree stand. And once the tree was up, the electric train was set up. We kids had hours of fun watching the train go around and around the Christmas tree.
When an electric train is a part of your holiday tradition, your children and grandchildren will have a sense of anticipation waiting for you to set it up every year. Why not buy an electric train this year to bring big smiles to your family?
